Concert Last Night

[Calis]

Lowest Turnout

Maybe this will help the people in charge realize, the 80's are dead. If you want people to show up, get some current bands in this city. I doubt those two bands would have even sold the place out back in their heyday.

[haha]

the price for these has beens was just nuts.

[Stingray]

LMAO, yeah I seen that coming. Washed up early 90's bands along with a local bar band tagged with an outrageous ticket price. Great combination that = low ticket sales.

[Barney Rubble]

what was the cost btw?


i havent been to a concert since The Cars in Charlevoix (back in 79? maybe)!
Used to o to CornFest on St Joes every year thou!

I agree 1000%!!!

The show wasn't put on by the city, it was an independent promoter.

I never hear of the Jackyl, Slaughter and the Inner City Surfers even in there hay day.

[Calis]

Well, independant promoter or the city, people need to realize what will make money these days. If your gonna charge a lot of money, make it a band, or something people care about.

I mean Sudbury is getting 50 Cent, not that I am a huge fan or anything, but that will sell out and make money. I hope this place wakes up and smells the coffee.

I'm shocked we haven't had a WWE even booked yet. I'm sure that will still do great!

[bluekrissyspikes]

i'd go see 50 if he were here

[Arimac]

You all missed an awesome concert!!! So....put your money where your mouth is - who would you pay to see??? The promoters can't read minds!

[Kinger]

Bring Arch Enemy here to tear the roof off of the Steelback. Angela would leave everyone both in love and in horror.

[Soundbear]

Kudos to the promoters and better luck next time.

[Calis]

I'd pay to see almost anything from the past 5-10 years that wasn't made for young girls.

Foo Fighters
Green Day
Offspring
Tool
Slipknot
Disturbed
Static-X

That type of music, I know everyone has their own tastes. But I think the promoters are getting music they like, not what the masses in the city like. I say develop a website, with a survey and see what people want, and try to get it.

I don't think it's a matter of who people want to see. It's a matter of what price people are willing to pay and for who. The promoters just have to do their homework a little better is all. I knew right from the start the ticket sales were going to flop because of the outrageous price for that line up. I mean, how many times has Slaughter been to the Kewadin now and for only $20. Why would people want to all of a suddend pay triple that for bands that aren't really selling these days. I would've probably went, but at a much lower priced ticket.

[Stingray]

Arch Enemy would probably sell less tickets that slaughter and jackyl

[Madmax]

I never even heard of them .. were they in a large band named something else?

[Kinger]

Yeah, but at least Arch Enemy is good. And current.

[HBomb]

They should get Rush to play here, that would definitely sell out.

I personally think Dream Theater and Symphony X rule but I know they wouldn't draw much of a crowd here in the Sault because not everyone is in to progressive metal. I think what they are talking about here is, not who's the best, but who would actually draw a crowd in this city and at what price.

Lol i recently tried to book rush here and i would have had to have a min 110 tickets for floor. Even then i would have made 20 bucks if it sold out.

Would you have paid $110 for floor seats and 120 for reserved seating for RUSH&gt;? let me know It would have been on Sat June 21.
Most other stops on their tour tix are min $85 anyways.


If they had a brain cell when they built the place they would have had capacity for 2000 more people and you could then book big name bands in.

I recently went down to Grand Rapids The Police attracted 7000 people so it was financially a go, that arena holds 12,000. My second row center ticket had a face prive of $290.00...
